2. Dough Should Be Softer and Stickier than Usual

The dough or atta in the roti maker has to be very different from the dough used while making regular rotis.

Compared to the regular dough/atta, the dough prepared for the atta maker has to be * softer and stickier * than regular dough.

To make the ideal dough for roti maker, follow these instructions.

Start making the dough regularly.

Add 15-20% more water than usual.

No need to kneed the dough too much.

After you have finished, let the dough rest for 1 Hour for best results.

3. Always Prepare Fresh Dough

Roti makers don’t produce good rotis with stored/refrigerated atta. If you use atta that was stored in the fridge, your rotis would come out hard and crisp (like papad) instead of soft.

For this reason, you should always prepare fresh dough when you intend to use an atta maker. Read our instructions above on how to prepare the atta. A general idea would be to prepare dough 20 minutes in advance.

4. Let the Dough Rest for 1 Hour Before Making Roti

The dough you make for an atta maker should be rested. That means that you should prepare the dough and then let it sit for 1 hour before you start making the rotis.

When the dough is rested, the gluten strands will form in the dough which will make the rotis much softer.

Of course that is an ideal scenario. No body wants to wait an hour for the dough to rest if they are hungry. If you are in a hurry, you can get good rotis by resting the dough for 10-15 minutes as well.

5. Use a Little Oil When Creating Atta Balls

To ensure that your rotis come out smooth and fresh tasting, use a little oil when creating dough balls.

There is no need to mix the oil deep in the dough. Just oil your hands gently before making the dough balls. This will help with 2 things.

The oil on the surface will distribute the heat evently and make delicious roti.

Even though the dough we used is sticky, it won’t stick to your hands.

Just make sure to not over do it. A gently glaze on the surface is sufficient to make a good roti with roti maker.

6. Consume the Roti as Soon as Possible.

Many people carry rotis in their lunch box and eat them later. However, when you prepare rotis with a roti makes, you cannot do that.

Since the dough for roti makers is made differently, the rotis made with roti maker harden much quiker. So make rotis with a roti maker only when you are sitting down to eat.

Also, if you are looking to purchase a roti maker to make rotis to take for lunch, unfortunately it won’t work for you.

Hey Fatima, if this is happening once the roti is inflating, then maybe your dough is too thick and the pressure of the air inside the roti increases too fast. Have you tried changing the dough composition?
